Well, there is no this is a Python only track, or Ruby only track. It's whatever people feel like discussing. (Kevin, were you at the unconference panel, they had interesting suggestions?)
This event is barcamp-openspace-lightening talk rolled into one, except the only rules are no slides because the last thing you want is a lecture in a discussion. It's people sitting around in a circle talking, *not* a presentation. AND It's okay to walk away from a discussion, it's not considered rude. I have to see when Pycon UK are holding their "unconference" in September, I do not want to overlap with them, in case people want to head over. Aside from that, thanks for all suggestions so far. Anyone know folks who organised Barcamp, or people from Digital Hub?
